Bill Summary

For legislation relative to life cycle costs for long term pavement solutions. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill aims to promote the use of long-term, cost-effective pavement solutions for transportation projects in Massachusetts. It requires the state Department of Transportation to conduct a life-cycle cost analysis for any pavement project exceeding $1 million in total costs, considering both asphalt (Hot Mix Asphalt) and concrete (Plain Jointed Cementitious Concrete) options. The Department must then select the material with the lowest life-cycle cost. Additionally, the bill mandates the Department to construct at least four concrete demonstration projects per year for 10 years to generate historical data and performance information that can be used in future life-cycle cost analyses.
